What is the ECWCS Generation
III: The third
generation of the Extended Cold Weather Clothing System
(ECWCS-III) is a radical re-design of the cold weather clothing
system for the U.S. Army. It is based on layering systems
believed to be the most effective by mountaineering professionals
and incorporates 7 layers of clothing. Each piece fits and
functions either alone or together as a layering system to provide
the most effective options in the lightest weight possible to
soldiers. It is 33% more compressible, 25% lighter and is
rated as significantly more comfortable. It is more versatile
and includes functional features that allow the Soldier to adapt to
varying mission requirements and environmental conditions ranging
between -40 to +60 degrees Fahrenheit. The U.S. Army's 10th
Mountain Division field tested 18,000 of the ECWCS-III systems in
Afghanistan in the fall of 2006 with great reviews, hence it is the
most current ECWCS system in the US Army to date.
